    PAST EVENTS

    Thursday April 20, 2017

    At Salon de lec­­ture Jacques Kerchache, Musée du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac
    Navigate through vibra­­tion: Qalqalah, A reader

    For this second event taking place at the Salon de lec­­ture Jacques Kerchache, Antariksa, his­­to­rian and co-fonder of KUNCI - Cultural Studies Centre (Yogyakarta, Indonesia) pre­sents his research, led during his res­i­­dency at la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme in the frame­­work of the Global South(s) fel­low­­ship.

    In con­ti­­nuity with his con­tri­bu­­tion for the second issue of Qalqalah, which focused on com­­moning (a cen­­tral notion in learning, doing and living-together pro­cesses), Antariksa pre­sents the Paris-based Japanese artists’s expe­ri­ence at the begin­ning of the 20th cen­­tury and their inter­ac­­tions with artist col­lec­­tives in the french cap­ital, from 1914 to 1945. With this sub­­­ject, Antariksa evokes the tran­s­mis­­sion’s paths from a parisian "occi­­dental" esthetic to Indonesia through Japan, but also the modal­i­ties of this tran­s­mis­­sion : the way it has been done, and had influ­enced visu­ally the memory of the two World Wars in Japan and Indonesia.

    Friday, March 24, 2017

    Collaborative dinner and con­ver­sa­tion with Françoise Vergès and Antariksa.
    From 7 PM to 9.30 PM

    Collaborative dinner and con­ver­sa­tion with Françoise Vergès (Chaire Global South(s) du Collège d’études mon­di­ales/FMSH) and Antariksa (his­to­rian, 2017 lau­reate of the research grant from Chaire Global South(s), Collège d’études mon­di­ales/FMSH and co-founder KUNCI Cultural Center, Yogyakarta, Indonesia).
    In the frame­work of Nuit des Débats de la Ville de Paris, in col­lab­o­ra­tion with Chaire Global South(s), Collège d’études mon­di­ales/FMSH.

    How does one con­tribute - as a researcher or as an insti­tu­tion- to the con­struc­tion of a nec­es­sary decolo­nial thought of the nar­ra­tives and the regions of the world? This long-term ques­tioning, com­monly found at both Villa Vassilieff art center and at the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme research center, unites politi­cian Francoise Vergès and his­to­rian Antariksa at the third Night of Debates.

    Registering at the heart of the Autohistorias pro­gram, that brings together the dis­cur­sive exhi­bi­tions and pro­jects from Bétonsalon - Center of art and research and from Villa Vassilieff in 2017 around the drive to “grasp the com­plexity of our social iden­ti­ties, to encourage the diver­sity of per­spec­tifs and to rede­fine which voices should be heard - and to finally regain our insti­tu­tions” (state­ment from Melanie Bouteloup, more infor­ma­tion here), the con­ver­sa­tion will be pro­duced in dif­ferent col­lec­tive forms, with alter­na­tive nar­ra­tives, using the expe­ri­ence of the cul­tural center KUNCI, co-founded by Antariksa in Yogyakarta (Indonesia) as a starting point.
